🎓 Senior Project Shoutout!
With Veterans Day approaching, it’s a perfect time to highlight Senior Gwen Cole, who is making a real difference through her Senior Project focused on improving mental health support for veterans in rural communities. One part of her project includes distributing Charlie Mike Packs—resource kits that help veterans stay connected with the services available to them. She had some help yesterday from her classmates packing around 75 bags full of these resources. She is collaborating with a variety of veteran organizations, one of which is requesting and providing funds to help her create an additional 300 bags to provide these resources.
Go Buffs!!!

On Election Day, I want to shout out an amazing group of young people.
Yesterday, the Kansas Youth and Government program held its first annual conference since 2020, and we were proud to take nine outstanding students to represent Republic County High School.
In preparation for the event, these students spent the past few weeks researching, crafting legislation, debating bills from other school delegations, and mastering parliamentary procedure — they didn’t just participate, they embodied what elite civic leadership looks like.
Our students debated their legislation, considered important Kansas policy issues, and collaborated with peers from across the state to craft solutions they were passionate about. This was an incredible opportunity to work alongside some of the brightest and most engaged students from Buhler, Wichita, and the greater Kansas City area — and our Buffaloes proved they belong among the best. Among those many successes was our own Billy Cherney, who was elected to serve as Speaker of the House for the Kansas Youth and Government delegation.
As we mark Election Day, it’s a perfect reminder that teaching our youth about government, democracy, and civic responsibility isn’t just a lesson — it’s vital for the future of our community and our nation. Experiences like this help students begin developing the knowledge, confidence, and civic habits that will one day make them thoughtful and engaged leaders.
We could not be prouder of the way they carried themselves and represented both our school and our community.
